Quantitative Trait Loci and Promoter Analysis of the Bovine Butyrophilin Gene
(2004-01-27)
The butyrophilin gene (BTN1A1) has been described in all mammalian species so far investigated. BTN1A1 is a likely QTL candidate that affects an economically important trait in dairy animals because it is specifically ...
Post-bottleneck inbreeding accumulation reduces fitness in laboratory populations of <italic>Tribolium castaneum</italic> under environmental stress
(2008)
Populations are often driven to extinction due to low genetic diversity. One major cause for loss of genetic diversity in a population is a demographic bottleneck. A demographic bottleneck was imposed on twenty-one populations ...
Genetic Variation in Nitrogen and Phosphorus Levels in Broiler Excreta: Opportunity for Improving both Birds and the Environment
(2010)
The increase in poultry meat consumption has resulted in intensified poultry farming operations with consequent concentration of excreta in major production areas. The nutrient content in the soil surrounding the poultry ...
DELINEATING THE ROLES OF C. ELEGANS HEME RESPONSIVE GENES HRG-2 AND HRG-3 IN HEME HOMEOSTASIS
(2009)
Heme is an essential cofactor for diverse biological processes such as oxygen transport, xenobiotic detoxification, and circadian clock control. Since free heme is hydrophobic and cytotoxic, we hypothesize that within ...
ASSOCIATION OF SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS WITH PHENOTYPIC PRODUCTION TRAITS IN BROILER CHICKENS
(2009)
This research investigated the association between SNPs and phenotypic production traits in fat and lean chicken broiler lines. In previous research, eleven SNPs in the promoter regions of four candidate genes were selected. ...
